My Experience with Yu Yureka (Using since a week Now) - YU Yureka General

My experience so far after using it for 1 day
1) Camera quality: Its good at this price range the clarity is amazing as well as the sharpness front is also great(think about the price first before commenting in negative)
2) Video recording and playback: Video recording quality is really amazing it has capability to record in 1080x1920 and while playing any videos i has great viewing angles
3) Performance: So far i haven't faced any sort of lags i am using this device heavily and my multi task is loaded with full of apps still no lag
4) Battery: To be honest i am really happy with the battery performance i don't know about others,using with full brightness wifi on and continuously downloading and i charged only yesterday to 100% and till now it drops to 69% so i don't think battery will be an issue for people
5) Benchmarks: Got above 32000 score in Antutu,55 fps in Nenamark had tried only these two
6) Gaming: Played asphalt 8, modern combat 5 walking dead season 2 grand theft auto san andreas all on high graphics haven't found any lag apart from a little frame drop in san andreas rest totally amazing gaming experience
7) Storage: All installed application and apps data got downloaded in internal storage which is 16gb but we can move them in the external storage apart from the game data.
8) Call quality: Calling experience was great no issue so far
9) Heating issue: Not much only minor heating issue if paying heavy games rest no major heating issue
10) Audio: The only thing which disappoint me is the audio quality as the ring tone for incoming call and audio video plaback from the speakers is low,it might create some problem for some people, and rest from the headset it will damage your ear be careful
Conclusion: BEFORE COMMENTING IN NEGATIVE DO CHECK THE PRICE AND WHAT THIS DEVICE OFFERS WHICH HAS THE CAPABILITY TO COMPETE WITH HTC OPO AND OTHER MOBILE AT ABOVE 20000 RUPEES

Thanks 4 ur Review.

Great man. i am waiting for my Yureka.. WIll update soon :good:

for this price we get peace of crap!
camera not so good in low light not so good in low light. i believe branded 8mp vs micromax 13 mp quality are same loz.
screen clarity is worst.
video recording, if call that hd recording, then for sure you have never use are not a camera person yaaaaak!
Slow mo video jerks in low light.
speaker, both internal for call and loud speaker are purely worst.
just few days of lauch and these the bugs people have faced ot me yet
Bugs everywhere. But some are experiencing them, some are not.
1. Proximity bug (i didn't faced it yet)
2. Calls drop (i didn't faced it yet)
3. 3.5mm bug (i didn't faced it yet)
4. Blueish screen (i didn't faced it yet)
5. Checked tap to wake after disabling (faced it)
somebody said the price you gettng a good phone, yar put 3 to 5 thound more better better phone.
it not even 10 days for this phone and people are running to service center.
hahahahahahah

Salcykhan, You're just describing too much! Internal Speaker is so loud that you can hear it from far in a quiet room... Camera Quality is good, Low Light Pics are great, at least Look at its price. Screen is clear, 1280x720 is good for playing HD games... Might be problem in your Handset...
I haven't experienced any bug yet, the Double tap Wake up is all working Fine...
And even if there's a bug, Man! There's a software update option. Looks Like you forgot...
Regards
N'ayam

I faced a few software problems like the lockscreen wallpaper changes to default, even after setting Swiftkey as the default keyboard and using it for some time it chages back to default
and also the phone charges upto 99% but never to 100% I found that if we remove the cable and plug it again it shows 100%.

Some said photosphere works once. but on second time they need to force stop and clear data for google camera,
Then it takes them .. also only 1A charger for 615 device so itz taking 3 hrs to charge
proxy issue with scratch guard.. some one said to tighten screw below proxy sensor
52.C . Temp while gaming for 30 min.
i'm hearing a lot abt this device ? are these true

Salcykhan, you are great yaar......you said people are running to service center.......where is yureka service center ???? According to company policy, they are giving onsite warranty......if u complain over phone....some technician will come to your place and will try repairing it, and if it is not serviceable at your place....they will take the phone, repair it and will hand it over to you at your place....
Some problems that u r not facing..........you have written.....what are u trying to prove ? The other problems that u have written............I never faced........I'm also using yureka for last 8 days.........
Can u show me a phone of same specification at this price range or even 3k bucks more ??????????

Brother just wait and watch, my phone already at the service center.
Anyway, now i will only buy "sagyus v2" father of all phone- but for that i have wait till june i guess

Remove your sim card and start yureka without sim card and check the battery level
My battery was about 70% then i restarted without sim card and the battery was 15% then it was increasing to 17..18..19%

or may be galaxy note 4 at this price... wait for 4 more years
yup, the low light photography is grainy, but video recording & pics taken on gud lighting is excellent. sharp & focused.
Can't find any issues with screen clarity for a 720p screen. It has gud color reproduction & tonality.
The biggest issue is ext. speaker. Jeez, tht just muffled. Can barely hear anything well even on full volume in a low crowded room.
The earphones i got had decent quality, loud & punchy... no issues there. Call quality also good, the speaker sounds gud & can hear the conversation well even on mid volume settings.
Gaming with high end games was mostly lag free, the fone heats up considerably (but manageable) during extended gaming & camera usage, but thn which fone doesn't?

Rooting does not increase the volume. After rooting you can have access to the system files where you can make some changes that increases the ringtone volumes to acceptable levels.

LG G PRO issues ?

I just got it yesterday and here is my exp
1. Even though I use it very carefully (still waiting for my case and screen protector arrive ), I have couples minors scratches on the screen (which I dont know why it happens on the Gorrila Glass)
2. Overheat auto dim brightness when I use maximum brightness about 15 mins
3. GPS sucks !!!
4. Sound quality so bad compare to my iphone 4s, especially when listening music by headphone (mine is Audio-Technica ATH-M50s/LE) or by AUX cable on my car. Iphone 4s give me louder and more crispy sound. This issues happens to me before with Nexus 4. I really doubt that Qualcom chipset sucks at music experience.

1. not sure how people do this, are you tossing your phone in a pocket full of change or with your keys? Have diamonds in your pocket? I find that when I keep my phone and ONLY my phone in my pocket I never get scratches.
2. On full brightness with a 1080p movie playing I have had no overheating problems at all. And that was outside in the heat of the day.
3. I find the GPS takes a little to get a fix, but once it has it...its accurate and doesnt lose it.
4. The sound using my Klipsch S4 earbuds is just as good as it was on my Galaxy Note 2. The Bluetoth audio is just a tiny bit less clear but I am no audiophile and cant compare accurately due to my horrible hearing.
Of course these are my opinions. If you dont like the phone...return or sell it?

not one single good thing listed in your experience with the device, yes i would return it and run along elsewhere.
Gorilla glass isn't hard to scratch, it's harder to break(given how thin the glass is it really is amazing that it doesn't break dropping out onto carpet).
I've had no GPS issues at all
I think the audio may have to do with the safe volume crap they have going on.
My issue is the stupid implementation of the emergency calling system..I've called 911 7 times in the 2 weeks I've had it. Press and hold!? That's the only thing my leg can do..I will return the phone over this issue

Did you adjust the EQ settings? It has it built in so you can make many adjustments.

For the GPS, do 2 things .Download GPS status from the play store and se how long it takes to show locked on GPS status app.If its taking long on an open area you have a defective unit.We have 3 OGP purchased at different times with no GPS issues whatsoever. The next step is connect to your home wi fi with no gps.Maps will tell you to change your settings you need to check and uncheck the GPD boxes several times to get the setting to take.
Glass issues,these days to scratch a glass like these take effort
Sound is similar to all devices,except HTC ONE.One of the threads within XDA has tested audio on all devices

Also for GPS make sure you have location access turned on on your Google account setting. By default it's and Google maps won't get a fix....
Personally I have had Zero issues with this phone and get a very fast GPS lock.. fast all being relative to my LG Revolution I used to have before this device.

Overall I think the OGP is a very good phone. Two things that do bother me are 1.) the music output is only mediocre. I have to say my Note 2 has much better sound quality. 2.) the screen is very reflective - it's a shame because the screen is very good but the reflections make it somewhat difficult to read off of in brighter conditions.
I seriously don't have any complains with this phone at all. Not even the slightest. Screen is fine for me in daylight at only 75% and its been sunny as hell here in Co. Audio output is great for me too. I use SD-9HD and they are loud. I have to turn it all the way up and then down 2 times so it doesn't stress the speakers. Phone getting hot has never been an issue and here in CO its been 90s for the past two weeks. As for the screen, you guys must have stuff in your pocket that super Sharp because I have coins and screws(I'm a copier technician) in my pocket with my phone and no scratches. Maybe I'm just lucky I don't know.

MUSIC PLAYER should have a little "Dolby Digital" button on the bottom. Turn it on
I've got the GPS issue. But it's a minor squabble in an otherwise great phone.

I'm a hardcore audio guy, and I'm very pleased with the OGP. Like most other flagship Android phones, the Pro supports USB audio. If you think the stock headphone jack on phone X sounds good, try listening to a high end portable DAC/Amp combo. I realize very few people are willing to carry an extra device around just for sound. But for the most audio obsessed of us, it's the only way. Built in speaker and headphone jack quality are essentially irrelevant.

I don't currently have a cable to allow that. It hasn't been an issue for me though, even when I was using a GS3. But there are cables out there that accommodate USB audio and simultaneous charging.

The HTC One

Hey guys I'm in need of an upgrade and I think the HTC One is the answer!
I was wondering if you could please give me feedback on your experience so far.
All I know about the cons like
Can't change battery
No SD card...
So how is the battery life etc??
Thanks

Absolutely love the device.
The Zoe feature and camera UI is top notch. You can do some really neat things with photo editing that I haven't seen on other devices. Galleries and slideshows are very cool too. I love showing those off to people and they're always impressed.
The screen is absolutely gorgeous with great viewing angles.
The front facing speakers are as good as people hype them up. I feel like I'm listening to a mini Bose system when I use them.
The build quality/design is among the best in smartphones. Easily the sexiest device I've owned.
Battery life has been surprisingly tremendous for me. I only plug in at night and easily get through a day of pretty heavy usage. Typically have about 40 to 50% battery left by the end of the night. I do use the snapdragon battery app so maybe that helps a bit.
The storage space was a concern for me but I ordered a meenova and it should be on its way soon. The reviews I've read on those have been positive and I just received my 64gb microSD card which I'll use for my carefully curated music collection. That will free up the 32gb onboard for everything else.

The battery was my biggest concern prior to buying and I have been presently surprised at how good it's been. I agree with his assessment 100%.

32gb is not enough storage for a phone? I'm curious what everyone is storing. I'm probably using less that 10gb currently. For music, I'll download an album here and there, but usually use pandora or stream from my amazon cloud.
For the OP, no problems so far. Battery life has been good. I don't try to let it run down, charge when I'm able, and haven't died yet. Looking at a portable battery pack just in case.
Phone is very smooth and fast, no problems streaming videos or playing intense games like asphalt 8.

I'm a big time music aficionado and have a ton of music on my phone. I don't have unlimited data so streaming isn't really an option.
I have only had my for a few days but I get a full day of battery life without any issue. I am a fairly low to medium user, but on my droid3 I would have to plug in at the 10 hour mark.
Here is a screen shot of my first full day, medium use downloading apps and getting it all set up. Plus about a million speed tests.
I can vouch for battery life being great for such a beast of a device... My rezound with half the specs and extended battery pack has about the same life as my One with similar usage, but the one does it faster with a bigger screen.
And I think 32gb is adequate. I would love to have 64 or 128, but I never use more than 16 or so GB before I start cleaning storage out.
I love light and fast with a small footprint, so this phone rocks.
Sent from my Zune HD. Yeah, I still have one of those.
(EDIT) Since posting the below, including edits, I have come to the conclusion that my phone is indeed defective, and am having it replaced. I'll report back.
I love the phone, but there are three major problems that prevent me from recommending it, although I don't know what else to get.
1. The camera. It has problems with focus, and the interaction between focus and exposure settings. It's hard to get a sharp picture out of it at medium to long range, making it all but useless for landscape/distance shots. The default settings let in too much light outside in daylight, resulting in hazy shots; and the only way to get a blue sky or anything close to enough sharpness to even zoom in just a little is to over-darken the shot by notching down the exposure and contrast controls. Indoors, there's flaring of brighter areas, and oversensitivity to the purple spectrum, as well as near impossibility of getting sharp shots at any distance. The auto exposure control changes the exposure so jerkily it's devilish to control. The wide angle and aspects of the big pixels show a lot of promise (and I'll bet the iPhone 5s with its 8 "ultra pixels" will provide proof of concept), but the way it is, the camera sucks. HTC says they're aware of this and working on an update. Uh huh. How long has this phone been out now internationally?
2. The speakers. A major selling point of the phone, and rightly so, as they really do sound great - especially with Beats on, or you can get more volume with it off, if volume is a priority. But the speakers are out of balance, with the bottom (right) one louder than the left, and there's some phase weirdness. For those of us who notice these things - this phone's natural constituency - it's really annoying. HTC says they "haven't heard much about this", but are looking into it. Meanwhile, I went into a corporate Verizon store and every employee in there with any experience of the phone said, "Oh yeah, everybody knows about that," and proceeded to give me the most imbecilic, trumped up explanations you could ever imagine. The kicker was, "They have to make the top speaker softer because they use it as an earpiece for the phone function."
3. BLUETOOTH. Unfreakingbelievable. If it hasn't been connected since the phone was last turned off, it will connect to your car radio automatically, as long as Bluetooth on the phone is turned on BEFORE the car. (EDIT - Turns out this isn't always the case, and may depend on the particular car radio.) But once the connection is broken, it will not re-connect automatically. When you try to connect manually, it may or may not connect properly, or may need repeated tries, or connect media but not phone function, or it may show it has done both but actually hasn't. But regardless, although the phone's music player will play, internet radio type apps will not play over Bluetooth - and the call quality will be greatly degraded. The only fix is to turn the phone completely off and on again - with Fast Boot OFF; a soft restart will NOT fix it - whereupon everything works fine. (EDIT - The foregoing fix also does not always work. With my car (2012 Subaru Impreza Ltd.), once the connection is successfully made, Bluetooth can be turned off and on again on the phone, and it will connect without a problem. It is when the car has been turned off that reconnection becomes a problem. My iPhone 4 worked flawlessly with this car.)
I really don't think my particular phone is faulty, in all these ways, especially since it doesn't have any of the other problems people have been reporting, and works perfectly otherwise. But please, somebody, convince me that it is, and I'll go get another one! Any case, there's loads of people having these problems.
(EDIT - further investigation with a couple of actually honest and knowledgable Verizon people has reinforced my conclusions, including the "loads of people having these problems" part, objected to by the commenter below. The camera is decidedly sub-par, the speakers are not in balance, and the Bluetooth, apparently typically of HTC, is badly done. These sources also reinforce those on this board who indicate that rooting can solve or improve these issues.)

The wide angle and aspects of the big pixels show a lot of promise (and I'll bet the iPhone 5s with its 8 "ultra pixels" will provide proof of concept), but the way it is, the camera sucks. HTC says they're aware of this and working on an update. Uh huh. How long has this phone been out now internationally?
2. The speakers. A major selling point of the phone, and rightly so, as they really do sound great - especially with Beats on, or you can get more volume with it off, if volume is a priority. But the speakers are out of balance, with the bottom (right) one louder than the left, and there's some phase weirdness. For those of us who notice these things - this phone's natural constituency - it's really annoying. HTC says they "haven't heard much about this", but are looking into it. Meanwhile, I went into a corporate Verizon store and every employee in there with any experience of the phone said, "Oh yeah, everybody knows about that," and proceeded to give me the most imbecilic, trumped up explanations you could ever imagine. The kicker was, "They have to make the top speaker softer because they use it as an earpiece for the phone function."
3. BLUETOOTH. Unfreakingbelievable. If it hasn't been connected since the phone was last turned off, it will connect to your car radio automatically, as long as Bluetooth on the phone is turned on BEFORE the car. But once the connection is broken, it will not re-connect automatically. When you try to connect manually, it may or may not connect, or may need repeated tries, or connect media but not phone function, or it may show it has done both but actually hasn't. But regardless, although the phone's music player will play, internet radio type apps will not play over Bluetooth - and the call quality will be greatly degraded. The only fix is to turn the phone completely off and on again - a soft restart will NOT fix it - whereupon everything works fine.
I really don't think my particular phone is faulty, in all these ways, especially since it doesn't have any of the other problems people have been reporting, and works perfectly otherwise. But please, somebody, convince me that it is, and I'll go get another one! Any case, there's loads of people having these problems.

Using the words loads isnt really accurate... The vocal majority are almost always having issues. Also realize that such a small percentage of the user base go to xda. Personally I don't see many of the issues you are having. If you look for cows youll see cows...

P6 everyday use - experience

Hi!
I would like to kindly ask if anyone can give me some input on how this Huawei Ascen P6 is behaving in everyday use? I have an option to get it as my work phone and would really like to know if this is a stable phone, or does start to behave poorly as previous Huawei Honor started to, after some use.
I have an option to get Nokia 925, Glaxy S4 Mini, Xperia SP and Huawei P6.
Thanks for your opinions.
Best regards,
D

I have been using the ascend p6 for the past 2 3 months. I am using the stock emotion ui with very heavy modifications using xposed framework and also a custom launcher.
So far I am very impressed with its performance. Emotion ui is a very well made rom with really smooth and nice animations (i love eye candy ). I haven't noticed any lag on my phone yet. Battery life is not exceptional but not disappointing as well. I can go through the day with normal usage without having to recharge (My normal usage includes frequent phone calls, not much internet browsing but a lot of music playing). You can play all normal games quite well though games with extremely heavy graphic requirements might lag (I never play such games on a mobile). Sound quality is also pretty good and it comes with dolby digital enhancements. Using iphone earphones on the p6 gives amazing sound quality.
So far the only problem I have noticed is a slight heating up on the top part of the phone which i have heard may be resolved with the kitkat update.
When compared to the others, I would choose the huawei hands down. It has better specs, emui is an amazing rom and finally it is one damn beautiful phone.. exceptionally beautiful!!!
It's very good, and the B125 update is very smooth.
Takes a day or two to settle down, then, very easy use, a pleasure to hold, screen very silky.
Only thing is you have to play with your battery life a little... Every night charge!

Had the phone since August last year, with various stock roms and a few beta's, currently on B122, not upgrading again till the official KK one comes out. I liked it initially, but things are starting to annoy me now.
The back panel is very easily scratched/scuffed for one, not from dropping but just sitting on a desk, in empty pocket etc. I never have a cover on my phones but do stick on a screen protector mind you. Also the silver edging at the top is marked, again from being in an empty pocket, and just general use.
The little pin thats in the audio jack is a pain, had to hunt about for it countless times after wanting to plug my headphones in, now lost.
The audio sound is very very low, sometimes not even audible if surrounding noise is high. I have some beats in ear headphones that work perfectly with everything else, but not this.
the camera is garbage, takes too long to snap and the focus is terrible, on all varying settings. Been the same on every rom ive tested. At the moment with 2 young kids its pretty much joint top of my list of most important features.
Apart from the above the hardware seems to be fairly decent, I like the size and the feel of the phone, but just seems to be a bit lacking now.
Battery is ok, but feel its a constant fight to keep it lasting longer than a day. I like the profile settings software, so have it all turned off at night, which helps make it last longer, but if I use wifi or have the screen on watching videos etc it plummets rapidly.
Software is ok, few things they dont do as well as some others, but few they do.
Wife recently bought the moto g and if it wasn't for the fact its only 16gb with no expandable storage i'd be getting that (I have a lot of music on a sd card ). For the money its head and shoulders above this.
All in all its been a fairly decent phone, but one i'll look to be replacing soon. Probably for the same price or cheaper than I got his sim free.
I'm sure all of the above could be fixed by rooting, doing this, doing that, but to be honest I dont have time or patience to do all that, and shouldnt really have to.
Anyway, that's my thoughts, few some people might find it useful, sure some will be offended. hey ho.
Everyday use:
Phone(Talk/SMS):10/8
Media:
Make(Video record):10/5(Laggy,cheap sound quality ,cheap video quality)
Make(Photo):10/7
Music(After europian volume boost trick)10/7
Wathch(Video)10/10 not problem me.(Im try many video version(mov,mkv,etc)
Game:10/4 Very poor:first problem many,many game run laggyas hell..And many not supported.
Net:10/8.
Batttery:10/7(Heavy use 1.5 day)
EtcLike huawei services)10/8
From the choices you have, p6 is the best as an all rounder. The xperia sp might beat p6 over GPU, while Nokia 925 got LTE.
But you need to mention your phone usage habits and make sure your important needs fall within it. Everyone got different usage habits so their experiences cannot guarantee everything.
Phone calls & sms: 10/10 have not encountered any problems
Video recording: 7/10 Video has very washed out colours and there used to be glitches when Stabilizer was enabled on JB roms, on KitKat this problem seems to have been fixed. Sometimes unconsistant fps range, especially on JB roms, seems fixed on KK.
Photos: 8/10 The sony imx134 sensor is okay, altough it gets rather grainy at even ~400iso, the quality of the lens is also low. Auto wb works perfectly, focusing takes abit more time than other flagship devices. Most of these problems have to do with software & driver optimization.
Music: 5/10 Audio quality is not the greatest, the audio jack also has some problems with some plugs.
Watching video: 10/10 Obviously it cant play 4K (interestingly enough, the 4K plays at the same tempo as on the snapdragon 600 phones), but 1080p and 720p run absolutely fine, havent had any problems
Gaming: 4/10 Not good, phone tends give off alot of heat and causes throttling
Internet surfing: 10/10 on JB, 6/10 on KK The problem with browsing in KK is not really device specific, the Chrome engine it uses instead of webkit just is slow and laggy on every phone. Dolphin Browser uses a modified webkit engine(like on JB) which runs well on KK and it also has support for flash which is not supported in KK by Chrome.
Battery: 7/10 The battery varies alot, I remember having the phone on 20% of battery in the end of the day, nowadays I end the day with 60%, could be the KK rom but I am not sure about it. Or could also be because the weather here has gone warmer
Emotion UI: 1/10 Horrible, it runs like crap even on their own devices compared to AOSP ui, huge lack of dark themes. Just an unpleasant eyekiller in the dark because everything is lightgrey and lightblue. You would also expect to have 60fps animations for simple thing like for example pulling down the notification center and scrolling through the settings menu, even phones with quite abit weaker hardware, but better optimization, manage to keep this at 60fps!
Basically most of the issues have to do with the optimization of the GPU
It runs stable, but for a work phone the S4 Mini will most likely work better.
The camera quality in the right lighting is better than a Sony Z1 !!! I compared the exact same photos taken by my P6 and my friends Z1. I could not beleve it !
If youll mainly use p6 for work, its the perfect fit. Fast and stable. I use mine for daily emails, web browsing etc.. Well what really sealed the deal is its beauty. Would choose p6 over any other phone for its design alone.

amen to that

1 week review, issues, solutions, verdict

Tested for 7days.
Here it goes.
Yureka. Unlocked and Rooted. Philz. Xposed. Google crap and live walls removed. Auto brightness (adjusted low levels) 280+ apps (system+data)
Things tested:
All features, camera, gaming, multitasking and battery etc. On both ART (not using xposed) and dalvik.
Camera is as expected. Front is much better to be 5mp. Good in low light too. Back is good but not so good in low light. But flash is strong and helps a bit. Back is fhd (1:30min~200mb) front is hd.
(5mp compared to other 5mp and 13mp to other 13mp, not with each other)
Screen is decent and there is no visible gap between touch and display. Touch is butter smooth and i have decreased build.prop dpi to 250 from 340(i guess,don't remember) still it is sharp to be a hd display. There is no blue screen as i have compared same image in phone and my pc dell led. If you have a blueish screen, turn adaptive backlight and color enhancement in display settings.
Notification led is, well, it is a led. What do you expect from it. It is multi colour. You can use light flow or my patch to customise it.
Phone is light, with leather cover too.
Sometimes a bit difficult to use because of its size lol. Use xposed with one handed mode.
Loudspeaker volume is low but of good quality. Still it is too low.
In box accessories are charger, cable, earphone, screen gaurd, manual like craps and phone itself.
Charger is normal, no quick charge and yes the charging is slow.
Earphones are better then mmx. But if you love music, you should buy other like soundmagic in ear or jbl on ear.
Sound output is awesome all you need is good earphone. Tested 4 of them.
Sensors are working and good.
Build quality is good and solid.
No lags no hangs.
Games were working smooth and lag free. HD games tested asphalt 8, mc4, nfs most wanted and gt racing 2. Highest settings. Used gl tools to increase more also.
Pros:
CM is working great. Decent os. Lots of features. Theme-able.
Sound is amazing.
Gaming is great.
There is no need of full hd display as this display is sharp and there is good color representation. Fhd display will stress up cpu and battery more. So, hd is good for me then fhd.
Light weight compared to size.
Price~device comparison great.
Better front cam.
Rest you already know. Mentioned above.
Internal memory is fast and gaming is good.
NTFS file system supported.
Cons (no one tells you these):
Low loudspeaker volume.
Apps can't be natively moved to sd (still you have 12gb for apps as it uses data/media, internal sd and apps storage fused)
No USB mass storage. My patch fixed this issue.
Slow mo video jerks in low light.
No option to select default storage volume, internal or external. (Use folder mount)
Hard charger cable. Some may like some may dislike.
Normal charger. Though aftermarket will be there.
Bugs everywhere. But some are experiencing them, some are not.
1. Proximity bug (i didn't faced it yet)
2. Calls drop (i didn't faced it yet)
3. 3.5mm bug (i didn't faced it yet)
4. Blueish screen (i didn't faced it yet)
5. Checked tap to wake after disabling (faced it)
Note:these are the things i can say are not up to the mark and i will be disappointed if i have spent 20k on this phone. But for 9k. These are nothing. Also i did my best to point more bads then goods, and i was unable to find any other then these.
Faqs:
Battery is decent. 57min~4%. 28min screen on 30min with 20min COC played.
Wifi on whole time. Silent/vibra.
No overheating. It's a piece of hardware. If it is working, will heat a bit. That's normal. But as compared to other mmx product (btw its not mmx product) there is no heating at all.
Both sims are micro.
USB otg working. No hdd support though lol.
Notes:
Call recording is there. Install xposed and search for cm call recording module.
Use folder mount to mount /data/media/obb/ to sdcard1/android/obb. By this you can place game obbs in your memory card. Otherwise ignore this.
Verdict:
Got 9k?
Buy it or you will regret all of your life.
Did i left something?
Pm me.
Good work
@op I really want to buy this phone but how? In 13jan when I try to buy its say this item is not ship to your area now today is sell to any tips?
speaker volume
okay so how loud is speaker actually? is it louder or similar to Nokia 5230? and is it loud enough while ringing in normal places like streets, shops etc.
Please mention any other normal phone for example which has about same loudness as Yureka.

[Q] What do you think of LG G3 ?

Hi
I want to buy LG G3 32GB version that has 3GB RAM
please help me out with my problem here my priorities are :
1. best performance for gaming
2. best sound + screen quality for watching movies
3. best camera for scanning documents + taking pictures
4. ideal development state
5. best battery lifetime
but before all of these I want the longest and best lifetime a device can offer cause im gonna have this phone for about 2 years till i change it again.
so based on my priorities and the fact that i will most definitely root and use custom kernel/roms and tweaks can this device offer me the best lifetime and least issues !?
Does it heat up really bad when playing games and recording with camera with the new updates and etc ?
How is the camera quality ?
How is the sound and audio quality ?
Are there any real issues with screen and its battery drain and heating up ?
Are there issues that I must be concerned with before buying ?

It does, but not that bad. Then thermal control kicks and the lag becomes noticeable.
Great camera, but only in stock roms.
Sound clear, but not to loud.
Some units have to much glue and yellow spots appear on screen. Most are fine. Amazing screen with great viewing angles and natural, desaturated colors.
Before buying this or another phone, remember that lollipop is a mess right now. Multitasking is awful. There are some important bugs in g3's lollipop.
You should read through this forum, because everything you asked is actively debated.
If money is no problem, then G4 might be better for you.
